Is it really possible to live forever?

“We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever. The goal is to create something that will.- Chuck Palahniuk


I find that this quote has a significant meaning. This quote is almost whispering the meaning of out society. In our society today, people want to become famous. They want to go down in history and be read about in books or anywhere for that matter. That is exactly what this quote is telling you to do. It is telling you to do something that is worth living or making a difference. We all know that we can not live forever and Chuck is telling us to take advantage of our lives. We can take advantage of our lives by doing something great. Apart from the meaning, this quote gives me a happy feeling. This may only be me but this quote makes me happy that we can do something that will be history. I feel that even after I do die, there will be a small part of me still here. the mood or theme of this quote is just inspirational. I most certainly feel inspired when I examine this quote. There is nothing about this quote that is not inspiring.

A song with an excellent meaning, such as this quote, is “Forever young”. In the song living forever is mentioned in the chorus. Then it goes on to say “Do you really want to live forever?” That was truly a great question. Sometimes people say that they want to live forever. I think that they are confusing some things. What they should want to do is make something that will be forever and in history. The simple fact is that no one can live forever. That would be sad to live forever and no one else live forever, wouldn’t it? As the song ends it says “So many dreams are swinging out in the blue.” This is self explanatory meaning that you have all these dreams but they fading away. It then states “Well then let them come true.” If everyone did all the dreams that they had then they can live forever. They would go down in history for doing what they wanted. No one lives forever or is going going to be forever young. We should make something that will live forever.

In the world today people are doing incredible things. Just last night the Grammy’s was on television. The people that won the awards there or performed there, are not going to live forever. They are making things that not everyone has the ability to say they did. They made things in there lives that are bigger then life and will always be remembered in someone’s mind.  Everyone has the ability to do what they are doing. If not what they were doing then something just as big. That show spoke more to me then just seeing famous people win awards. It told me that if I try hard and work towards my dreams I can do anything that I want to do. It is a great country that we live in. In this country we all have the chance to make it big and famous. Why would someone not want to be famous?

I am deeply inspired by this quote. This has great meaning. I might even be able to say that I have never read a quote that so full of meaning. When reading this quote I get happy. It gives such great hope that I can do what I want to do. There are many things in my life that I would like to do before I die. We all may not be able to live forever. Though in a way it is like we all have a chance to live forever.

The meaning of communication

            Communication is the ability to talk to others effectively. This is how you interact with the people around you. Communication gives you the power to talk to other people. The picture to the side shows how people must communicate. This shows that without communication the world would not be as connected as we are today. This is a giant role in any human being's life. We use communication everyday of our lives. This is how we learn in school, get directions, everything we do is through communication. There are many different forms of communication. There are cell phones, computers, social network, talking, etc. This blog is a form of communication  If communication was not present, people start to mess up on everyday things.
           Without communication the world would be a very different place. Many wars have happened or were stopped from happening through communication. A very recent event happened in the world through communication. The people of the country of Egypt used a form of communication to their advantage. The mass of the people had various online accounts and they used these accounts to talk to each other about a revolution. This caused all of the people to form a protest and chaos has been a result. Without communication that protest would have been very different, or it wouldn't have happened.
          Communication plays a colossal role in my life. Much of school work is done through communication over the internet. I use multiple forms of communication on a daily basis. I use a facebook account to keep in contact with my friends, I own a cellphone, have a blog, and I talk to the people around me.Without communication we would not know what to do and when we had to do it. I personally would be lost without communication. I am the type of person who has to talk to people to know what to do. I like to be told exactly what to do in things such as projects. Almost everything we do, is done through communication.

The Year As Of Now

        Well the begining of the first marking period brought the begining of a new chapter in my personal book of life. I thought that high school was the best thing that had happened to me. This was since eigth grade of course. It was honestly amazing in the begining. I had freedom, I was doing good in school. I loved it. Then I went to Philadelphia. I relized how much I missed the city. I missed all my old friends. I wanted to see them so bad. Also it was such a drastic change. i went from a city catholic school to a less city-like public school. Nothing seemed good.
        Later in the begining of the second marking period I relized that I didn't even think that I wanted to be a doctor. I didn't even know if this was the school that I wanted to be in. This whole situation was a big mess that had to be cleaned. I then thought about it and came to the conclusion that this is the best place to be.
       Now I am getting use to this school. I came to the conclusion that this school holds the best oppurtunity for me in the future. I just have to see what the future has in hold for me.

The Great Gatsby

         When I first started to read this book, I honestly thought that it was going to be one of the worst books that I have ever read. Now that i am almost finished this book, I came to find out that it is not that bad. There are some slow parts but the story to it fixes them. To help me on my way to finishing this book i wanted to write a blog on the pros and cons of the book called The great Gatsby.
        There are some pros to this book. One of the pros would have to be that it was written so long ago. When I pick up this book it is almost like I am looking through a miror to the past. This also makes me feel like I am reading about history. Another pro to this book would have to be that it describes the characters nicly.
        There are cons, and they may out weigh the pros by a little. The first con of the book would have to be that the chapters were too long. This ment that there was more pages to read in the time period. Another con would be that there were too many characters. They do introduce the characters nicle and describe them but it sometimes is hard to keep track. The last con would have to be that there were a few slow chapters.

Book Review #4

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

             Have you ever found yourself, daydreaming about a new world? Have you even ever found yourself wanting to have powers beyond man? For a young boy, named Harry Potter, this was his life. If you have answered yes to any one of these questions, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the book for you.
            When Hagrid said "You're a wizard Harry", these were words of happiness. When Harry was only a baby his parents were killed by the most dangorous wizard there was, Voldemort. The family that Harry lived with when he was orphaned were horrible. They were his mother's sister's family and they disowned her for being a wizard. NAturally, they did the same to Harry. They never let him do anything and he had to sleep in a little cupard underneath the sink. Hagrid came and turned his life around. harry was then brought to a magical school and found out some things are not what they seemed.
           When Harry is at school for the first time, he goes to the Sorting Hat. "This boy would make a great Slytherin student." said the hat as he sat upon Harry's hat. These were words of pure terror to HArry. Slytheriin is where is new enemy is and he did not want to spend seven years with him. The next day classes started and he found out that one of his teachers already hated him. The year was not starting off right for Harry at all. The only good thing that came out of this school was that he had his first friend, Ron Weasly.
            Throughtout the rest of the year things looked like nothing was going to be getting better. this is until Harry's skill at broom flying was found. He then joined the team of quidatch as the youngest member. This seemed to be the best thing at the time, until the first game. One of the professors tried to kill harry by knocking him off of his broom. Then he came to find out that the same professor was hosting the remains of Voldemort. HE then had to go to find the Sorcerer's stone in a dungeon. There were various obstcles in this dungeon that they had to go through. In the end Harry was successful and saved the school from the grips of Voldemort. That is until next year.
           If anything magical sparks your interest,then you most likely will like this. This book has a whole range of aspects. From a story of a poor boy to a wizrd. This is much like nothing I have personally never read. i would reccomend this book to you if you ever have to read a book.

 

My review on the Lightning Theif for the SIP

   Have you ever dreamed of being part of something bigger then life? Ever wondered what it was like to get a glympse into the world of the Greek Gods? For Percey Jackson he did. In this book this boy is found out to be the son of Posideon, the greek God of the oceans. He thought that being a demi-god, which is half mortal half god, would be the easy life. Neadless to say he soon found out it wasn't.
          Being half Posideon, Percey found a connection to water. His favorite animals were fish, his favorite sport were swimming. He seemed so different thn all of friends who liked dogs and playing basketball. Once he found out he was the son of Posideon he was relieved to know the reason for him being different. Once this is found out all of his problems seem to get even bigger. For protection he has to go to a camp for all of the demi-gods. Once he gets there all of the battles begin and the action starts to happen.
          This book is a mix of action yet it has a meaning to it. The meaning I found to be that no matter how different you are, that you should be happy. Also i found that this book means that being what you want to be, may not always be the best thing. Percey found this out the hard way becasue with being half god comes godly worries. Being a god there is almost like a scent that the evil being can smell out. The more powerful you god parent is the more powerful the smeel. Percey Jackson,s father was one of the big three so that gave him a strong scent, thus meaning that all of the evil beings were always after him.
          With being mainly about God, I find that there is a connection to my SIP. My topic for the SIP is marine biology. In this the main character has a love for the oceans. He loved the fish and the different types of sports in the water. This made me want to find out a little more about the different types of fish. i wanted to know about their adaptations. Sea life has always interested me. These are the reasons why i chose this book for my SIP. 
           I would highly recomend this book to anyone who is a fan of reading. i believe that anyone will like this book no matter what your favorite genre is. i gave this book five stars becuase this specific book happens to be one of my favorite books. If you want to read a good boook, you should pick this up from a store.

Reading

When a good book is found it is almost like your best friend. You never want to leave it. All that you want to do all day is just read. Lately i have been reading a lot of good books. I would like this good book streak to continue. The next book that i am going to be reading is the Great Gatsby. This book seems to have some slow points in them from reading a little of the first chapter. Most people that have read this book that i talk to, do not like it. I hope that i will like it however.

Reading has done good for me. Whenever I am stressed and just want to relax i take out a book and I feel fine. It is almost like a different world that I can get away from. If one thing is true it is that I will never give up my hope of reading.
